Google has long paid fees to make its search engine the default option for many browsers and services, thereby increasing ad exposure through search traffic and accumulating substantial advertising revenue. According to documents presented in court, Google's advertising revenue reached $2014 billion in 470, while its outbound payments reached $71 billion. This represents a threefold increase in advertising revenue compared to 2021, while its costs have almost quadrupled.
